Going to San Diego? Track where Ravens fans will be here!

Who is going out this week for the Sunday Night showdown?

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to spend your days/nights out there?

I have it mapped out but I LOVE to borrow from the experience of like-minded people and I'm sure others here do too.

Also, where are you all tailgating?

Where are your seats? I'm in field section 6 behind the Ravens bench, row 18.

I plan on doing some video, pictures and well, you know...

We need to run the table and secure that No. 1 seed and it starts at here!

Be sure to stop by Dirty Birds at 4656 Mission blvd in Pacific Beach, we are San Diego's home of the Ravens.

Dirty Bird...here's your chance for free advertising. What kind of specials will you offer Ravens fans wearing purple on Saturday & Sunday? The Tilted Kilt is offering:

That seems pretty lame to me. Tell us why DB is the place!

Also, how far are you from Qualcomm?

Totally agree, the Tilted Kilt and their local media partner haven't exactly set the bar high now have they?

I'll be there for the 2nd time. was in the upper end zone with a great view of Sugar Ray stopping Sproles to end the game. Make sure you hit the IHOP just across the parking lot from the stadium. Were tons of Ravens fans there last time.

Don't know if it's been posted here, but the West Wing LA fan group is going to be heading down to SD for the game.

Ravens Nation is growing.

They are probably one of our fine Micro-brews that should not even be mentioned in the same breath as the water they serve in stadiums.

I will definitely be there. *West Wing!!*

I've said it once an ill say it again on this Thread.. I love this team... It Doesn't matter where we go, we are always represented... Way to go West Wing! Represent Purple for some of us who can't make the trip to beautiful San Diego.

I am going to the game. I will be in Field level 8 row 6 behind the Ravens bench. Hope to see other Ravens fans there! GO RAVENS!!!

Field 3, Row 9.

As i live out here, I will give some friendly hints:

Stay in Mission Valley as it makes getting to the stadium easier.

As for restaurants, there are plenty in the area. If you want a great burger, jump on the 8 and head to Hodad's in Ocean Beach. You will not regret it.

If you want great mexican, seriously just point in a direction and you've found it. You cannot go wrong with Old Town, but look for the plethora of taco shops around the area. Rubio's is a chain mexican food restaurant here that is light years above any mexican in Baltimore.

If you want to be by the water, check out Seaport Village downtown as well. A nice place to go and have food & drinks by the water.

If you have any other questions of where to go or what to be, shoot me a message and I will be as helpful as I can.

If you are a craft beer fan, head to university heights and you will also find more craft beer bars and gastropubs that you will not be without a tall frosty & or a headache.

For the best Ravens bar in San Diego, head to Dirty Birds in Pacific Beach.

If you are into craft beer, try Ballast Point, Stone Brewery, Lagunitas, Green Flash, and I could go on and on and on and on and on.

Hope this helps and also look for 2 large Ravens party buses tailgating before.

And most importantly, Welcome to M&T Bank West!

Ugh, no disrespect thread starter, but let's not call ourselves "ravens nation". How about flock, brigade or squadron? Anything but Nation though. Just don't want to hear some of the few steeler trolls that frolic through here thinking that we're trying to mimic their saying. Lord knows some of them can be insufferable enough without any assist. Yeah it's small shit, but I feel we can come up with something a bit more unique to us. ;) Have a blast at the game though those that go. Wish that I could make that trip, but dough is tied up in a lot of other stuff right about now. And let's go Ravens!

Talk is cheap! Come up with something better. Flock, brigade, squadron. Not feeling it. Ravens Nation was fitting for the flag image above. Let's see the Steelers match that...seriously.

But now, back to our regularly scheduled programming about the what, wheres, hows and whens of the weekend in San Diego.

Love,

Thread Starter

Dirty Birds in Pacific Beach the only true Ravens bar in the San Diego area, is offering 20% of your entire tab if you present a valid Maryland drivers license beginning Thursday through Sunday.

That certainly trumps a $6.80 20 ounce beer at some national chain bar willing to sell out their hometown team.

Well, we'd be copying a moniker that they stole from Red Sox fans, who stole it from Raiders fans, (not that any of them would ever admit it). But I agree, it's WAY overused now.

Raven Republic, maybe?

Wish that Dirty Birds place had been there when I lived in Pacific Beach in the late 90s -- looks good!

Of course, there might be a Ravens bar on Avenida Revolucion in Tijuana too. You all should go down there to check, just in case. Purely for research purposes.

As to the Pacific Beach/Downtown quandary, resolve any doubts heavily in favor of P.B. Downtown is lame. They'd have to be damn near giving beer away for me to pick that over P.B.

I was there during the Super Bowl (Den-GB I think it was the Elway "helicopter" game IIRC) and all the downtown parties sucked. Having said that, the airport is downtown so I'd stay there, the beach is a short drive or taxi ride from there, as is the stadium. Also, I know the trolley runs downtown, just don't know if it connects to the line that runs to the stadium.

Oh yes. I haven't had a fish taco like a Rubio's fish taco since I left San Diego. Nobody, nowhere, does it like they do. Great, great stuff.

On the subject of burgers, the In N Out Burger, if you've never had one, it's a must try. They used to have one in Pacific Beach, don't know now. Easy to google the current locations, well worth the effort.

I highly recommend Pure Platinum downtown too. :rocking::patriot:

In Tijuana, you could do worse than dinner at "Caesar's Palace" (you learn quickly that there are no copyright laws in Mexico, apparently, or at least not in Tijuana) and the sportsbook down the street at Caliente is pretty cool.

The West Wing will be in San Deigo supporting both Tilted Kilt and Dirty Birds (sadly most of us have CA licenses, so buy us a beer) on Saturday. Here's the full plan for the game, all are welcome to join our big 'ol group:

SUNDAY, 12/18- The majority of The West Wing member will be staying at Omni Hotel San Diego. If you still need to make arrangements please call them at (619) 231-6664. On gameday we'll be hosting out Purple Tailgate at 1:30pm PST located in section P2 of the bus parking lot on the southeast side of the stadium. This event is open to all, if you didn’t get a tailgate ticket from Ravens Roap Trips (free beer, food and bus to/from the game) it’s okay, you can still join us just BYOB.

More information and details here- http://thewestwingla.com

Hey all - another Ravens fan in San Diego here. I echo sentiments supporting Dirty Birds in PB. Downtown is closer to the stadium, but PB is a lot more fun and the Ravens faithful will be at Dirty Birds throughout the weekend. They organized a bus trip/tailgate that is up to 50 strong attending the game. The Ravens presence is definitely growing in SoCal.

Just stick to the coast for any sightseeing/bar hopping. Mission Valley (where Qualcomm is located) is awful. It's just strip malls, chain restaurants, and congestion. Take a cab to Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, or Mission Beach and embrace the scene.
